THE FLYWEIGHTS WILL COMPETE FOR GOLD IN REMATCH AT NEF XVIII
Lewiston, Maine (Abril 24, 2015) - Luchas de Nueva Inglaterra (NEF), Número uno de la promoción de lucha regional de América, celebrará su décimo octavo mixtos de artes marciales (MMA) evento, “NEF XVIII: Hecho en America,” en Sábado, Junio 13, 2015 en el Androscoggin Banco Colisee en Lewiston, Maine. El día de hoy, the promotion announced that the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion will be determined that evening when Dustin Veinott (3-3) revanchas “Soñoliento” Norman Fox (4-1) at the flyweight limit of 125-pounds. Veinott and Fox initially met in their double amateur debut at “NEF IX” en Biddeford, Maine nearly two years ago with Fox taking the win via first-round technical knockout (QUIEN).
Dustin Veinott, a striking coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) en Auburn, Maine, got off to a slow start in his MMA career, losing his first three bouts in the NEF cage. Not one to give up due to a setback, Veinott came roaring back and is currently on a three-fight win streak. De hecho, he has defeated all three of his most recent opponents in the first round, two by submission and one by TKO. Veinott was considering retiring from the cage after his most recent victory over Dave Brown (1-3), but decided against it when the chance to fight for the flyweight title was presented. Regardless of the outcome this time around, Veinott predicts an exciting contest against Fox.
“This is going to be a very entertaining fight,” said Veinott of the rematch. “Don’t blink though because this fight will not go the distance – either Norman or myself will be finished during the fight. So expect a high-action fight between two guys that are at the top of their game right now.”
Norman Fox is undefeated in the NEF cage. The only loss of his career to date came on a fight card in Plymouth, Massachusetts on which Fox was competing for a regional title. He is currently a member of Ryan Cowette’s (2-2) MMA Athletix gym, as well as Cowette’s Victory Church ministry. Fox realizes that he and Veinott are not the same fighters who stepped into the cage for the first time on that balmy night in the summer of 2013.
“Normally I don’t like rematches, but Dustin and I have grown as fighters so anything can happen,” said Fox when reached for comment. “Once they lock the cage door, it’s all in God’s hands.”

I proved that I belong at the top level with my performances against Arthur Abraham and this is a challenge that I am relishing,"Dijo Smith. “Andre is a top pound-for-pound fighter and someone I respect a lot, but he has only boxed once in almost three years and I will give it everything I have got. I am fresh and confident going into this fight. It’s a massive opportunity for me and one that I took with both hands when it was offered. I have spent a lot of time boxing in the United States and I look forward to returning for this fight.”
Known for his strong character and integrity outside the ring and his killer instinct inside it, Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. Él acumuló cada título en los libros, culminando con una medalla de oro en la división de peso semipesado en el 2004 Juegos Olímpicos de Atenas. Como el único boxeador estadounidense masculina para reclamar el oro olímpico desde 1996, Ward, se unió a la talla de Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard y Oscar De La Hoya. Se convirtió en profesional en diciembre 18, 2004, anotando una segunda victoria por nocaut técnico ronda sobre Chris Molina en el Staples Center, en una pelea que fue televisado en vivo por HBO. Ha llegado a acumular 26 más victorias desde entonces, la construcción de una legión creciente de los aficionados en el proceso. Después de convertirse en el campeón del mundo de Ring Magazine y AMB súper mediano, subiendo a la número dos en la lista libra-por-libra y ganar la 2011 Boxeador del Año (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine y la Asociación de Escritores de Boxeo de América), se anunció que la sala ha firmado un acuerdo exclusivo de promoción con Roc Nation Deportes en enero 2015, la apertura de un nuevo capítulo en su carrera en el boxeo pisos. Now the Bay Area product is ready to return to the ring on Junio 20 en el Oracle Arena frente a sus fanáticos locales en Oakland, California.
Paul “Real Gone Kid” Smith enters his fight against pound-for-pound star Ward coming off of two heroic performances against WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Arthur Abraham. Smith challenged the Armenian-German for his title in Kiel, Germany in September 2014 and put on the performance of his career in his world title first shot. The 32-year-old native of Liverpool was the clear winner of large parts of the fight and celebrated at the bell in front of a hushed partisan crowd that thought that Abraham had been dethroned. Smith was not expecting the wide scorecards that were read out in favor of the hometown fighter and, judging by the far-reaching outrage at the lopsided numbers, neither were the majority of the boxing world and beyond, with Smith receiving support from some of Britain’s biggest sports stars on social media. A rematch was the only possible scenario and, like a true champion, Abraham duly obliged. Smith returned to Germany in February of this year to face Abraham again, this time in Berlin, but Abraham was a different fighter the night of their second fight, successfully defending his belt against a brave challenge from Smith. Once again the judges’ were forced to give a verdict and this time a decision win by Abraham was met with no outcry of controversy. En Junio 20, “Real Gone Kid” will return to the ring and once again venture into hostile territory to take on one of boxing’s best, looking to silence the crowd.
Sala vs. Herrero, un 12 asaltos presentado por Roc Nation Deportes, se lleva a cabo Sábado, Junio 20 en el Oracle Arena en Oakland, California, será televisado en vivo por BET y transmitido a nivel mundial en TIDAL.com en 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT y es presentada en asociación con Matchroom Sport.

‘It’s Really Happening’ Builds on Original ‘Week of Greatness’ Spot
Foot Locker, Inc. (Bolsa de Nueva York: Florida)
Abril 23, 2015
NUEVA YORK, Abril 23, 2015 - Foot Locker, Inc. (Bolsa de Nueva York: Florida), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, today debuted a new television spot, "It’s Really Happening,” in celebration of the highly-anticipated and long-awaited bout between champion boxers on Sábado, Mayo 2.
The new spot builds on Foot Locker’s “Week of Greatness” commercial from November 2014, which played on enduring attempts to schedule the oft-rumored mega fight, ending with Pacquiao believing that the fight was happening back then. In this newest commercial, Pacquiao’s business manager tells him that the fight really is going to happen, which at first surprises Pacquiao, then he again reacts with his signature elation made famous in the original spot.
“Our original ‘Week of Greatness’ spot with Manny Pacquiao last November was a big hit with our customers. It parodied the well-documented opposition of the fighters to agree upon a deal,” said Stacy Cunningham, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Foot Locker. “So when the two sides finally announced that a deal had been made, we saw an opportunity to follow up, tapping into the hilarity of the original spot. We are excited to launch ‘It’s Really Happening,’ as part of Foot Locker’s signature ‘Approved’ marketing platform.”
The spot was created by worldwide agency BBDO.
